This is the first Week In Review post for 2010 and as I look back upon last year, I have fond memories of the progress made while blogging. I am now in my 11th month as a blogger, although I have been online with web sites for many years.

As a blogger I travel around the internet stopping at numerous places during the week to read the work of others and to share some of what I find in this ongoing weekly series. This is a form of networking that I thoroughly enjoy because it leads to meeting so many people from all over the globe. That’s pretty cool considering you never have to leave your office.

This year has just begun and there is a lot going on, not only for me, but all around the net. People are busily getting off to a great start and it shows.
